Cream Puffs

with Butter Olive Oil & Black Cherry Balsamic

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup butter + 2 Tbsp of Butter Olive Oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 whole eggs
• Dark Chocolate (or milk Chocolate) for melting
• Black Cherry Balsamic
  (or other favourite - try Raspberry or Tangerine)
• Whipped Cream or Ice Cream

Directions:

Heat oven to 400°F. In 2 1/2-quart saucepan, heat water, butter & oil to rolling boil. Stir in flour. Reduce heat to low, stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat.

Beat in eggs, all at once, with spoon. Continue beating until smooth. Drop dough by level tablespoonfuls 1 1/2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets to make 36 puffs.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool away from draft, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl melt some dark chocolate (or milk chocolate) and mix in a tablespoon of Black Cherry Balsamic. Cut puffs horizontally in half. Fill puffs with whip cream filling or vanilla ice cream. Serve drizzled with chocolate topping.
